210 Came for the Bitcoin, stayed for the FOSS. There are so many Linux distros that I believe anyone can find the one for them. You can find tiny ones that will run on super old hardware lime Tiny and Puppy. Others like Linux Mint come loaded with Office suites and other useful programs. Once a person dives into Linux I don't think there is any going back.

2k I agree completely that this idea of "fix the money, fix the world" has to begin from the individual. "Fix the money, fix the world" is a meme, a nugget of cultural capital. Fix the money, fix the world is simply an ideal not a formula. And by sharing this meme, Fix the Money, Fix the World, it's a short, compact way of communicating that ideal. It's a way for Bitcoiners to come into alignment culturally that Bitcoin will be used for the benefit of all.

How is it that all Bitcoin Meetup organizers are so articulate. I would imagine they are good looking as well. Shoutout to the Comox Valley Bitcoin at the Beach meetup. The venue was the beach and it went swimmingly. There were burgers, baked goods, tallow and lard, plants and freeze dried products for sale for BTC. I think it is a beautiful beginning to a Bitcoin market. https://fountain.fm/episode/rPKfsikJqyzTYCuSSv6D https://localbitcoiners.com

1.1k I miss an episode and it's the one you guys give a massive shout out to @npub1cvcgs83gw… ! This is the #valuechain, high velocity exchange builds capital, especially if that exchange causes a chain reaction of capital to propagate. Not just financial capital (btc) but also intellectual, experiencial, social, cultural, spiritual, ect. This is how the world we want to live in gets built by participation and cooperation, big or small. The key right now is velocity in my opinion.

Such a high signal podcast, I learn so much with every listen, the show notes are a fantastic resource to further that education and I get so many ideas as well. What's the difference between check out and zap out (besides the public nature of the transaction)? Does ecash add any additional programmatic functionality when it comes to open marketplaces/merchants on Nostr?
